Mao's easy success depended on Xue Zhiqian's strength, or his own strength?
Recalling 2017, that summer, Mao Buyi quickly became popular with a song "Dispel Sorrow".
A cup of respect for the morning sun, a cup of respect for the moonlight; a cup of respect for the hometown, a cup of respect for the distance;
A cup of respect for tomorrow, a cup of respect for freedom; a cup of respect for death.........
The lyrics do not have the poetry of the ancient style, nor the love of love songs, but they are full of simple and ordinary, with strong resonance, how many people sing and cry.
Xue Zhiqian once said: "Your words are written so that I want to kneel for you." ”
Yang Mi heard the tears and said, "You are really a person with a story. ”
However, he was questioned by Hua Chenyu and threatened: I have never expected you, and there is no sense of picture and other remarks.
However, this did not affect Mao's difficult to move forward in the musical road, with his own talent and strength, he became a music superstar.
Like the song he sang, "Holiday Yourself a Superstar," now, it's really got her wish.
And behind this scenery, what is hidden is a bitter history. It all has to start all over again.
01
In 1994, in a small county town in Qiqihar, a pair of ordinary civil servants gave birth to a boy named Wang Weijia.
His parents are academic bullies, but he has not inherited the good genes of his parents, his academic performance has been bad, and he has been introverted and sensitive since childhood, just like living in a world that outsiders cannot perceive.
For him, the time in junior high school is the most beautiful, with his family who love him, there are friends on call, at that time, he hopes that this time can stay here and will never change.
This is also his original intention to change the name to "not easy".
At the same time, God made a big joke with him, and all the beauty was broken by his mother's disease, and he was diagnosed with advanced cancer, accompanied by multiple metastases.
Mao Buyi recalled that when he came to his mother's hospital bed, his mother was unusually strong and tried her best to survive.
Because the mother is worried about his grades, worried that he will not be able to take care of himself, and still blames herself for not being able to cook for her son again... (According to the mother: the son will eat a meat dish and a vegetarian dish every meal)
So, there was the song "One Meat and One Vegetarian", singing the thoughts of his mother.
And this year, Mao Buyi was only 17 years old, and he was still a teenager, and he experienced the separation of life and death. At that time, his biggest regret was that until the moment his mother left, he was still a less mature person.
He even found that since his mother's death, his father had become a friend in his life, and when he came home for the New Year's Festival, he would pour him wine at the wine table.
Then he called out his pre-debut name, the familiar name- Wang Weijia.
And he also completely fell into a low point, becoming more careful and sensitive, and every part of his life can make him touch the scene. And writing songs gradually became a good medicine for him to relieve his emotions.

In 16 years, he applied for the English major, but because of his low score, he was transferred to a major and became a trainee male nurse at Hangzhou Local Hospital.
At the same time, what surprised him even more was that after facing the death of his mother, facing death had become the norm in his life. In just one year, he sent away more than 100 patients.
In order to facilitate his work, he rented a small house near the hospital and lived a boring life every day.
And what happened next made him have self-doubt, as we all know, life, old age, illness and death are the norm in the hospital, but when he begins to face it, he often thinks of his mother, deeply in pain, and feels very depressed.
So there was the song "A Cup of Respect for Freedom, a Cup of Respect for Death" - "Dispel Sorrow", which resonated with many people and sang into the hearts of many people.
On the way home from work in the early morning, he saw the vendors downstairs who had not yet closed their stalls, so he had "Late Night Corner".
On the day he left the rental house, he looked at the house number of the room with his luggage and wrote the song "203".
10 months of rental housing life, he wrote dozens of songs, all derived from life. However, he still feels that he is very mediocre and ordinary.

It wasn't until he saw the audition for "Children of Tomorrow" in 17 that he decided to give it a try, but he didn't expect to wait for him to be questioned and super low popularity.
In fact, when he got on the train and embarked on this road, he did not have much hope, because he had published these songs on the Internet and had never listened to them.
So, before taking the stage, nervous, he poured a few sips of liquor, and sure enough, as expected, he was ridiculed (ugly, so ugly that he could not even find his daughter-in-law).
However, what many people don't know is that Mao Buyi was originally a program group, arranged to come in with comedy personalities, which made him very helpless.
Sandwiched between hip-hop and idols, hand in hand. But to put it bluntly, he's just a flavoring agent for other popular players.
But fortunately, in this game, he met Bo Le, the music maniac Xue Zhiqian.
During the period when Mao was not easy to be at the bottom of the popularity, Xue Zhiqian single-handedly left him on the stage, until the appearance of the song "Dispel Sorrows", he could not stand up.
He used 8 glasses of spirits to exhaust the loneliness in his heart, making Yang Mi, who was present, shed tears for it, and said that you have been slapped by life how much you can write such lyrics.
It is even more for Xue Zhiqian to say: I have studied words for 12 years, and you wrote that I want to kneel for you.
However, he was devalued by Hua Chenyu, saying that he had never expected Mao to be easy, but in the face of doubt and denial, he did not retreat but fought back.
At the same time, when he used this song to circle millions of fans overnight, Xue Zhiqian chose not to escort him anymore, because he wanted Mao to win with dignity.
At this time, Mao Buyi has also exhausted his talents, in this era of face-to-face and hand speed, it is Xue Zhiqian who slows down time and gives good music a time to ferment.
At the same time, it also gave Mao Buyi a precious opportunity, and in the end, he won the championship in one fell swoop. Using his talents to give capital a slap in the face.
And when he learned that he had won the championship, there was no expression, no cheering, he sipped his mouth and looked left and right with a blank face.

Since then, after Mao is not easy to become famous, he still does not forget his original intentions, creates music with his heart, and earnestly gives back to the public.
Throughout his life, from an ordinary male nurse, he counterattacked to become a music superstar, all the way was bumpy and bitter, and had to make people sigh: Mao is not easy to be slapped by life, in order to write such a direct lyrics.
Moreover, every song is derived from life, simple and simple lyrics, but it has written a variety of life. His songs always strike directly at the softest places in our hearts, touching, warming, and healing us ordinary people who are struggling in life.
